Graphical analysis for phenome-wide causal discovery in genotyped population-scale biobanks

Nature Communications, 2021
Mendelian randomization is a popular method to detect causal relationships between traits, but can be confounded by instances of horizontal pleiotropy. Here, the authors present a Mendelian randomization workflow which includes causal discovery analysis ...

Within family Mendelian randomization studies [PDF]

Human Molecular Genetics, 2019
AbstractMendelian randomization (MR) is increasingly used to make causal inferences in a wide range of fields, from drug development to etiologic studies. Causal inference in MR is possible because of the process of genetic inheritance from parents to offspring.

Metabolomic Profiling of Statin Use and Genetic Inhibition of HMG-CoA Reductase [PDF]

, 2015
Background Statins are first-line therapy for cardiovascular disease prevention, but their systemic effects across lipoprotein subclasses, fatty acids, and circulating metabolites remain incompletely characterized.

Recent Developments in Mendelian Randomization Studies [PDF]

Current Epidemiology Reports, 2017
Mendelian randomization (MR) is a strategy for evaluating causality in observational epidemiological studies. MR exploits the fact that genotypes are not generally susceptible to reverse causation and confounding, due to their fixed nature and Mendel's First and Second Laws of Inheritance.

Study on the causal relationship between educational attainment and delirium: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study

Heliyon
This study aimed to investigate whether there is a causal relationship between educational attainment and delirium at the genetic level using the Mendelian randomization method, and provide new evidence for studies in this field.

Targeting inflammation to reduce cardiovascular disease risk: a realistic clinical prospect? [PDF]

, 2017
Data from basic science experiments is overwhelmingly supportive of the causal role of immune-inflammatory response(s) at the core of atherosclerosis, and therefore the theoretical potential to manipulate the inflammatory response to prevent ...

Inference for Instrumental Variables: A Randomization Inference Approach

, 2018
The method of instrumental variables (IV) provides a framework to study causal effects in both randomized experiments with noncompliance and in observational studies where natural circumstances produce as-if random nudges to accept treatment ...

Theoretical impact of insecticide-impregnated school uniforms on dengue incidence in Thai children. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Children carry the main burden of morbidity and mortality caused by dengue. Children spend a considerable amount of their day at school; hence strategies that reduce human-mosquito contact to protect against the day-biting habits of Aedes ...
